Nintendo Press Release - Wii (US):

Ecco: The Tides of Time (Sega Genesis, 1 player, rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): In this sequel to Ecco the Dolphin, everyone's favorite underwater hero must battle the Vortex Queen and her hive of drones. The wicked queen followed Ecco back to Earth from the future and quickly established her hive. It's up to Ecco to defeat this alien threat by navigating the depths of his side-scrolling world, solving puzzles and receiving help from his marine-mammal friends. When Ecco used the time machine to save his pod, he split the stream of time in two. He must now restore the rift before the world is permanently changed into a mechanical world, sucked dry by the Vortex.

Ecco is faster, more powerful but engulfed in danger! The Ruthless Vortex has shattered Ecco's mentor, the mystical Asterite. Ecco and Trellia, a stunning dolphin of the future, must cross 100 million years of time to restore the Asterite and save life on Earth.
